Overview:

Our competitive process remains the primary grant making vehicle for organizations to receive funding. We are a general purpose foundation, which means the Trustees approve grants across a wide spectrum of focus areas including:

arts and culture,

civic and community initiatives,

education,

health, and

human services.

Under our competitive process we accept applications for general operating, program, and capital support.

Please note, if funded through the competitive process applicants must wait three years (36 months) before submitting a new application. If declined applicants must wait one year (12 months) before submitting a new application.
